An important part of being a member of a Rotary Club is supporting local community events and causes. An in Aldridge its something that we are really good at. There are a number of volunteer groups and we all support each other for the best outcome for the village residents. There are always plenty of activities going on and events to get involved with, if you are feeling at a bit of a loose end or just looking to give something back the Rotary Club will help you to meet like-minded people who want to do the same.  Through the club you will be able to join in with as much or as little as you like or have time for.
